  As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that proshares ultra vix short-term futures can indeed be used to hedge against cryptocurrency market volatility. These futures contracts are designed to track the VIX index, which is often considered a fear gauge for the stock market. Since the cryptocurrency market is highly influenced by market sentiment, the VIX index can provide valuable insights into the expected volatility of the cryptocurrency market. By taking a short position in these futures contracts, investors can potentially profit from the increase in volatility in the cryptocurrency market, offsetting potential losses in their cryptocurrency holdings. However, it's important to note that investing in futures contracts involves risks and should be done with caution.
